Amish town meeting

Setting:
Amish town meeting.
Abraham: I call this meeting to order. On our agenda today: we need to raise two barns this week. Also Nehemiah wants us to bless his engagement to Mary.
Anna: I'd like to make an announcement.
Abraham: sure.
Anna: (in the far right corner of the audience) so glad Nehemiah decided up finally settle down and get married.
Abraham: I think he only courted you and Mary, with the blessing of the brethren, of course.
Anna: well he should just settle on Mary because she's very humble and meek.
Abraham: anyone else have any comments before we bless this engagement.
Anna: Fine!!! If no one else will say it I will. I sure everyone is happy to see him happily wed to a nice plain girl like Mary. No doubt they'll have lots of plain children.
Nehemiah: ( from the far left of the audience) Mary is not that plain! She's
got hair that perfectly stays in a braid! That's a very good quality!
Anna: And she's got the personally of a nat.
(they both take a few steps closer)
Nehemiah: she's very focused on God.
Anna: like I wasn't? But at least I have a sense of humor.
Nehemiah: your are way too opinionated!
(they both take a few steps closer)
Anna: because I told you that your farming was not optimal?
Nehemiah: you have far too many of your own ideas!
(they both are nose to nose shouting )
Anna: you know you like a woman with her own ideas but you are too proud to admit it!
Nehemiah: I am not too proud!!
(they kiss)
Abraham: ok well I that case, I am not blessing the engagement then. Let's talk about the barns now.
